Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
Add-ins
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
- ½ cup chives, finely diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Wet & Dry: In one bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until well combined. In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Then fold in the chopped spinach, finely diced chives, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the diced cooked ham until the mixture is fully incorporated.
- Form: With floured hands, divide the dough into 12 even portions. Shape each into approximately 1-inch round disks and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the biscuits.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits at 400°F (205°C) for 5 minutes to set the tops, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until the biscuits have turned golden brown and are cooked through.
Notes
- Using floured hands helps prevent the dough from sticking when forming the biscuits.
- For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preference.
- These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warmed before serving.
- Ground flaxseed adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, but can be omitted if unavailable.
